I'm thinking of getting rid of my truck and was wondering what you guys think it's worth. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I can expect. I have a trade-in offer of $35,500 right now but holding out this week cause I have another guy interested. I've got over $16K in extras but I know I can't expect to get all that back out of it.

I still love the truck but with all the driving I've been doing I'm thinking I'd rather get a nice fast car and a cheaper truck. I really only need my truck when I tow to the dunes twice a month. Thinking of getting a CLS55 AMG.

The truck has all the mods in my sig plus a spray in bedliner and Delta truck box. It has 33,500 miles on it.

Yea I know they will mark it up some from their offer, how much I don't know. I'm just having a hard time cause it's hard to assess the value (if any) of all the mods. I know NADA retail is around $41K I think and KBB retail is $45K. I also have to consider the savings from taxes by trading it in on something the same value which would be another $2,600 vs. selling it outright. It's possible I can find a buyer and do a run through so I would get the tax savings and more out of the truck possibly but it's not for sure they would do that.

Yea I understand what you mean about being pretentious. Problem is there aren't many 4 door cars out there that have the power and speed I'm looking for. I'd like an '09 CTS-V but can't justify $50K on a car. I'm actually going to drive an E55 AMG tomorrow just to see how I like it. I've driven everything from the G35s to the new CTS4 and they all seem to be lacking in the power department. Who knows, maybe I will drive them all and decide to just keep it. Another option I considered was getting a 2011 and not lifting it and doing more of a sporty look to it...would be easier to drive and park in the city and get much better highway mpg. They are still strong though...best I've seen is around $50K for a loaded Lariat.

Sorry if I sell it I'm selling it all together, don't want to sell anything off of it.

Dude, take the trade in amount. Those KBB values are ridiculously high. $45k for a used lariat!? I paid just pittance more than that for my truck brand new!

I know, KBB is retarded high. I got a new offer today at $37K trade-in which with tax savings on the new car makes it like selling it outright for $39,500. I figure that's not bad at all, even with all the mods included. I'm looking at a Infiniti G35Xs with every option and can get it at NADA clean trade-in value. I figured it out today and with the cheaper payment and gas savings (80% of my driving is commuting 60-90 miles each way) I will save roughly $500-$550 a month. That right there will make the payment on a pretty nice diesel when I go to get one next spring. I will hate to see it go, but a nice car and a cheaper diesel will be better for my needs since I really only need a diesel two times a month in the summer is all.
